Jacques Nadeau commented on CALCITE-4840: ----------------------------------------- One other note, it's weird that there are two readmes and they have different information. Any rationale? I think most projects just have a single md (I don't have any numbers to back this up). > Avatica readme for source release should have better build instructions > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CALCITE-4840 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-4840 > Project: Calcite > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: avatica > Reporter: Jacques Nadeau > Priority: Major > Labels: newbie > > Right now, trying to figure out how you should build from the source release > is too difficult (unless I missed something). To find the rather meagre > instructions, you have to: > # Open the README and see it says use README.md > # Open README.md and follow the link to the avatica home > # Click develop > # Click avatica development guide link > # Find and click "build from a source distribution" > Good luck to someone to find that path :) > When you get there, it states java 8 or later but trying to build with Java > 17 fails. For reference, jvm I was using: > {{% java --version}} > {{openjdk 17 2021-09-14 LTS}} > {{OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-17.0.0.35.2 (build 17+35-LTS)}} > {{OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-17.0.0.35.2 (build 17+35-LTS, mixed mode, > sharing)}} > > Ideally the readme (or an install.md or a single click) should include: > * Prerequisites to build (gradle 6.8.1 and Java 8?) > * How to check signature > * How to build & test > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
